how different each and every one of us are, despite looking the same.

[ Humans never fail to amaze me. How they compose and carry out with their lives despite being hurt. How they feel broken inside yet look composed on the outside. How they manage to go on with each task of their day despite grieving within. I remember exactly when this thought hit me. I remember crossing the road that one cold morning to go to my college. I remember seeing an old man past me, a group of younger girls chatting ahead. A little boy having his mum walk him to school. It was then I realized how different each and every one of are, despite looking the same. ]

“We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It’s a death trap.”

now i am forced to somehow un-love you. as if i never craved your touch, your kiss, or simply your presence across the room. i am forced to pretend this heart is not longing for your return. we are now two strangers who shared a past, and an imaginary future together. i am forced to dry my tears at night and make myself believe this is for the better. my arms no longer have a home. and your absence will forever torment my soul.

"I don't want to think about it now," one of my closest friends once told me. "I'll think about what I can do once I'm already in that situation," she even added.
Before we got into this conversation, I was ranting about my life. And why are things not happening the way I want them to? As if the universe is against what I want. These past few months have quite stressed me out, and I don't have anyone to tell these things to. Because, honestly, I never wanted to bother anyone. I am just a typical person who keeps things to herself. Especially if it's too personal for me to share.
Earlier, while I was traveling to work, this conversation struck me once again. And I just remembered that I also said that before to someone I know. I used to think that way. I used to tell other people the same phrase every time they asked me what I would do if I were in a certain situation. And you see, I used to not overthink too much. Yes, I am an overthinker, but not to the point that I am experiencing now. I just thought that my overthinking got the best of me. I'm on the verge of quitting everything that I'm passionate about. In short, I was so close to giving up and stopping everything that makes my heart feel alive. I haven't felt so genuine in a while, as if everything I wrote was nothing but mere words that have no meaning at all. Something I don't really feel like writing about. I stopped having a long conversation with anyone. I stopped listening to what they really had to say. And just think, think, and think until it's time for me to go to sleep.
But then I remembered who I was before. I remembered that girl who doesn't easily give up on things just because she's stressed out. I remembered that girl who loved to lift people up with her words. I remembered someone who would not let anyone stop her from achieving what she wanted. I remembered who I was. I remembered myself saying, "Let's see what I will do if I'm in that situation." Even if I am not sure what I can exactly do when that moment comes, even if I'm not sure if I'm still alive to witness that, I remembered how hopeful I was. And I remembered how much faith I have that things will always work out. And even if they don't, it just means that it wasn't meant for me at all.
I just want to tell you that sometimes you have to remind yourself of the old you—the you who have lived and survived in the past—just to get you where you are right now. And remember that if you don't like where you are right now, you still have a chance to do something that might change where you're going. It might be a tough road to walk on. But the most important thing is that you've done something. You've never abandoned yourself and just given up on what you really want to do.

“I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it — to be fed so much love I couldn’t take any more. Just once.”

"Aspettare è una imposizione. Eppure è l'unica cosa che ci fa percepire fisicamente il logorio del tempo e ce ne fa conoscere le promesse. Esistono infinite forme di attesa: in amore, dal medico, alla stazione o nel traffico. Aspettiamo: l'altro, la primavera, i numeri del lotto, un'offerta, il pranzo, la persona giusta, e aspettiamo Godot. I compleanni, i giorni di festa, la felicità, i risultati sportivi, un referto. Una telefonata, il rumore della chiave nella toppa, il prossimo atto e la risata dopo il finale di una barzelletta. Aspettiamo che un dolore smetta e che ci colga il sonno o che il vento si plachi. Inerzia, distrazioni o noia: nel registro delle ore programmate, l'attesa è la pagina vuota da riempire. Che nel migliore dei casi ci ricompensa con la libertà."
